I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools.  Do I need a newer version?

I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word document using Acrobat Pro 9 but am unable to find "Content to edit" under tools.  Do I need a newer version?

Acrobat 9 Pro (not Standard) can export ("convert") PDF to Word, RTF, or other text formats.
Click-path:  File - Export
Take your pick.
With install of Acrobat 9 the Help PDF is installed also.
From the this PDF's Bookmarks expand Chapter 5's bookmark and select "Convert PDFs to Word".
Be well...

  • I have downladed a trail version of Adobe XI.  I tried to convert a PDF to a Word Document.  It wont let me.  Why?

    I have downloaded a trail version of Adobe XI.  I tried to convert a PDF to a Word Document.  It wont let me.  Why?

    Usually it is because Adobe Reader is opening, not Acrobat Pro. Be sure that the program you are using is Acrobat Pro, not the free Reader. In Acrobat Pro, File > Save As Other > Microsoft Word.

  • Converting a PDF to a word document using the online "create PDF" tool.

    So, the title of this message is what I am trying to do.  However, when I do this it acts like it is uploading a file and then nothing ever happens.  I have been waiting hours to see if it was just taking a long time.  Is there a size limit to this service?  My file is 43 MB.

    Hi, could you share a screenshot of what your page looks like immediately after you upload a file? It could be that it just is taking a long time to upload. Do you have a high-speed internet connection?

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

    Hi tkam,
    It sounds as though you just need to install the latest Reader update. Please choose Help > Check for Updates in Reader and install the latest update. An update to Reader 11.0.07 resolves this sign-in issue.
    Let us know how it goes!

    Hi tkam,
    I think I may have just the answer you're looking for. If you're converting from within Adobe Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates. This error was resolved in the most recent Reader update. (You can also try signing in directly via the ExportPDF website at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf.)

    HI Aijan,
    I am trying to convert a pedigree chart so I can put it in my family's genealogy book. I need to make some corrections on it. It was created on a MAC and I am on a PC. This may be part of the problem. I am on Windows 8 on a 1-year old Samsung computer laptop. I have Adobe Reader XI on it. It says that I can convert a PDF to an Excel or Word file for editing.
    It looks like computer code to me.
    Here is the first page of what I am copying:

  • I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!!

    I just installed the free trial Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and it is not allowing me to freely convert a pdf to a word document????!!!! Why is this? Does anyone have this problem?

    When you report a problem you should always try to include as much relevant information as possible. Saying "it doesn't work, help me!" is not very helpful to us, because there could be a million reasons for it not working... What exactly happens when you try to convert a PDF to Word? Are there any error messages? How exactly are you trying to do it? Also, what operating system do you use? What version of Word? What exactly version of Acrobat? etc.

  • Converting a PDF to a Word document that maintains formatting

    I am trying to convert a PDF to a Word .doc and it when I select the Export to Word Document option, the formatting goes crazy.  Is there a way to maintain the formatting from the .pdf  to .doc?

    Not really in Acrobat no. If the original document used proper tagging you'd have a better shot at it but those are rare.
    There are PDF to Word converters that do a better job available. Try Google and you'll get many options (can't vouch for any personally).
